E284. Must Attend Collaborate Event
Welcome back, friend! Today, we’re taking a walk down memory lane—yes, there’s a nod to Welcome Back, Kotter—but more importantly, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on my heart: creating spaces for real, honest collaboration and connection. I’m pulling back the curtain on Collaborate, the annual event we’ve hosted for the past three years. This isn’t your average conference. It’s not about the sizzle, the glam, or the Instagram-worthy moments. Collaborate is about deep, meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and growth—both personal and professional. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The Magic of Collaborate: Discover what makes Collaborate a transformative experience. Hint: it’s not about the venue or the photo ops; it’s about the connections and the “magic” of real conversations. Why Vulnerability is a Game-Changer: Learn how being open and honest can unlock growth in both life and business. April shares how vulnerability—once a “hard pass” for her—has become a cornerstone of meaningful leadership and collaboration. Overcoming Limiting Narratives: Hear powerful stories of attendees who faced their fears—like accents, self-doubt, or past failures—and how the community turned those perceived weaknesses into strengths. The Power of Me Too: Understand the profound impact of shared struggles and how hearing “me too” can dissolve shame and inspire action. Building a 3-Year Vision: Explore how the event integrates personal growth with actionable strategies to help attendees design a vision for their life and business. Key Moments: Introduction to Collaborate: Not about the sizzle, but about creating a space for community and real connection. Why “magic” is the only word that fits the experience. Vulnerability in safe spaces: How Collaborate fosters honest conversations that break down barriers. The power of “me too”: Stories of shared fears and how they became strengths. Mike’s call to action: “The world needs this. How do WE bring this out in the world?” Quotes from the Episode: “This isn’t about the sizzle. The world has enough sizzle. It’s about real connection, real growth, and locking arms with people who care about you.” — April Garcia “The power of vulnerability isn’t in showing weakness; it’s in creating connection and understanding.” — April Garcia “When you share your struggles, you might just help someone else realize they’re not alone either.” — April Garcia Why Collaborate Matters: For Business Owners: It’s not just about growing revenue but about growing yourself so you can scale sustainably without losing what matters most. For Leaders and Teams: Collaborate provides a blueprint for creating spaces where vulnerability is a strength, not a liability. For Everyone Feeling Stuck: Whether it’s self-doubt, burnout, or fear of failure, Collaborate helps uncover the narratives holding you back and replaces them with strength and support. Action Steps for Listeners: Find Your Community: Seek out a space where you can be real, vulnerable, and supported. It doesn’t have to be Collaborate—but make it a priority to find your tribe. Reflect on Your Narratives: What stories are you telling yourself that might be holding you back? Write them down and challenge their truth. Create a Vision: Take 30 minutes to outline your 3-year vision for life and business. What’s your next bold move? Share Your Struggles: Start a real conversation with someone you trust. You might just find the power of “me too.” --------------------------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join the waitlist for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 By joining the waitlist, you’ll get first access to event details, early-bird pricing, and exclusive offers.
